A member asked:
Is there any surgery i can have to prevent my knee from dislocating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start with Exam: You are wondering if a surgery can prevent your knee from dislocating. Start with an exam by an orthopedic surgeon. He/she will examine both your knees. You may have laxity and strength training, you may need imagining studies. Surgery is usually best for torn structures. Physical therapy may be indicated first. Be well.
